Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

Hi all, I've been running SFC regularly on my Dell Inspiron 7520 (W7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit) after a rather nasty experience with logonui.exe and crypt32.dll. No problems reported from when I managed to get it running again two weeks ago till a few minutes ago. I've copied and pasted the relevant stuff from the CBS.LOG file.

I ran one yesterday without problems, and the only changes I've made to my PC is installing a couple of security updates and updates for W7; I steered clear of all .NET Framework updates and any updates after December 2014. I ran SeaTools on my internal HDD (long generic aborted because it stopped responding) for about 5 hours before this /scannow if that affects things somehow.

How do I go about repairing the files without resorting to a repair installation or anything of the sort? Also, I leave the files as they are, will I be in danger of being unable to boot yet again? I should mention as well that I don't have Dell's Windows 7 reinstallation disc, but I do have a generic Windows 7 disc from Microsoft.

Hello and welcome user mate when you ran the sfc did you run it for three consecutive runsa s soem advise this to be done like that .

Now if there is still problems then I suggest you follow up the sfc with this https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html < if necessary include the /f switch and if this does not make any improvement then just run this switch instead /r in the command line as per Option2

I am curious too that you are not running an AV you should really even if as you probably know none of the AV''sare foolproof.

so try these

http://www.superantispyware.com/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ADW download from bleeping computer delete any rubbish found with the malware scans(NB If you are running Kaspersky as the main AV then it might need disabling it when trying ADW because it does not like it at times)

If you decide to get an AV there are plenty of good free ones but if you want to carry on without one then that's your choice albeit - and I am not trying to be rude - a little foolhardy.

So if you change your mind we can put you onto some good free ones unless you would prefer a paid for software.

One last thing can you tell us why you have avoided the .NET framework updates because they are in essence frameworks for other stuff to work on??

Hi there, thanks for your response. I've just run it thrice and same results still I'm afraid. I ran CHKDSK through the Command Prompt while booted into W7 (without /F) and it says no problems were found. Should I attempt CHKDSK /R anyway?

As for no AV, a friend had Malwarebytes installed on his W8 PC and it ended up making a mess of his DLLs as well. I did consider downloading MSE but as I simply cannot remember what caused my Dell to crash, I'd rather not take the risks. Ditto for the .NET updates, this is based on Brian Krebs's advice quoted in the article. https://www.computerworld.com/articl...a-problem.html

Judging by the Update logs you provided, id say this was a VERY, possibly an image, recent install of W7
If it occured on your last run, i suspect that updates installed prior to the 22nd sept are causing some of these

The system errors, .dll, are a different matter and these need to be replaced, possibly caused by
the logonui.exe and crypt32.dl infection clean-up
